    Classic mid-80′s equipment. That coach/baggage car would be a great modelling project. Nice assortment od smooth end and corrugated end steam gens as well. Great shot!

    That looks like CN #60027. It was built as oil-electric car 15836 in 1929 and converted into a tool car in 1960 for the auxiliary train based in Fort Erie. A photo showing the opposite side is in the book “Canadian National Color Guide To Freight And Passenger Equipment Volume 1″

    Interesting history for that piece of equipment.

    Pierre, the date has been corrected.
